Database & Read Count

Hello,

First post here, but these forums have been an immense help for months with my Kobo. Thanks to all of you in advance for that!

The issue I am having is mainly caused by some part of my brain that is totally OCD.

I created a shelf called "» Finished" that contains every book I've finished, as I finish them. As of this writing, the number of books in that shelf is 34. But my Kobo's "Read Count" is 31.

This drives me absolutely nuts, and I realize how ridiculous it is, but all I want is for those two numbers to be the same. I surged through the database for the better part of two hours yesterday trying to get to the bottom of it.

In the "content" table, there is a column called "ReadStatus", if memory serves correct. The column supports integers, but the only three values in mine were 0, 1, and 2. I'm assuming that 0 is unread, 1 is started but not completed, and 2 is completed.

I sorted by the column's values, and counted the 2s. 34 of them. Just to be sure, I looked at the titles of the books labeled 2. They are indeed the books I've finished.

To make a long story a little shorter, I looked at every one of the 34 books marked with a 2 to try to discern which 3 were not being counted by the Kobo.

...to no avail.

Would ANYBODY be able to help me solve this issue? I can upload my database, or whatever. Somebody please help so I can sleep again...
